When printing the special media, you must follow the loading guideline.

When papers overlap when printing from the multi-purpose (or manual
feeder) tray, open tray 1 and remove the overlapping papers. Then try
printing again.

When you print a document, set the paper type and size for the multipurpose
tray.

Printing on special media

The paper setting in the printer and driver should match to print without a
paper mismatch error.

To change the paper setting set in the printer, from the Samsung Easy Printer
Manager select (Switch to advanced mode)> Device Settings.

Or if your printer supports a display screen or touch screen, you can set it from
the control panel. Then, set the paper type from the Printing preferences window > Paper tab >
Paper Type. For example, if you want to print on labels, select Labels for Paper Type.

note:

When using special media, feed one sheet at a time.

Illustrations in this user’s guide may differ from your printer depending
on the model and options installed.

Refer to the table for special media uses in the tray.

note:

The media types are shown in the Printing Preferences. This paper type
option allows you to set the type of paper to be loaded in the tray. This
setting appears in the list so that you can select it. This will let you get the
best quality printout. If not, the desired print quality may not be achieved.

Envelopes

Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes.

To print an envelope, insert it with the flap facing up.

Figure : Example of printing an envelope

When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:

Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m2
(16 lb) otherwise, a jam may occur.

Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than
6 mm (0.25 inches) curl, and should not contain air.

Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or damaged.

Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and
pressure of the printer during operation.

Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp-and well-creased folds.

Do not use stamped envelopes.

Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, self adhesive
seals, or other synthetic materials.

Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to the
corner of the envelope.

Figure : Example of proper envelope seams to use

Acceptable

Unacceptable

Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that
folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the printer’s fusing
temperature about 170 °C (338 °F) for 0.1 second. The extra flaps and strips
might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.

For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6
inches) from the edges of the envelope.

Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.

Transparency

To avoid damaging the printer, use only transparencies designed for use in
laser printers.

Figure : Example of using only transparencies designed for laser printers

When selecting labels, consider the following factors:

Must withstand the printer’s fusing temperature.

Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the printer.

Do not leave unused transparencies in the paper tray for long. Dust and dirt
may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.

To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them carefully.

To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged
sunlight.

Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn edges.

To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let the printed
sheets stack up as they are being printed out.

Labels

To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels designed for use in laser
printers.

Figure : Example of using proper labels for laser printers

When selecting labels, consider the following factors:

Adhesives: Should be stable at the printer fusing temperature
of about 170°C (338°F).

Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them.
Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing
serious jams.

Curl: Sheet must lie flat with no more than 13 mm of curl in any direction.

Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other
indications of separation.

Make sure there is no exposed adhesive material between labels.
Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause
paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also damage printer
components.

Do not run a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The
adhesive backing is only designed for a single pass through the printer.

Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled,
bubbled, or otherwise damaged.

Preprinted paper

When loading preprinted paper, the printed side should be facing up with an
uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feeding, turn
the paper around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed.

Figure : Example of loading preprinted paper, printed side facing up

Must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or
release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing
temperature for 0.1 second (about 170°C (338°F)).

Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely
affect printer rollers.

Before you load preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the paper is dry.
During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper, reducing
print quality.

Card stock/Custom-sized paper

In the software application, set the margins to at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches)
away from the edges of the material.
